I believe I am in agreement with this concept.  It also seems to lead to the
conclusion that the stock code should remain binary, since you would want
code that would run reasonably in all scenarios.

The only thing I might add to your formula is:

if (host.memory < MEDIUM && (host.space && host.processor >= MEDIUM)
  playerfiles = ASCII;
